Moss Agate

Item Description

Agate is defined on mindat.org as a variety of Chalcedony (which is a variety of microcrystalline Quartz). Agates most often forms in layers/bands, in a wide range of colors. They can also range from gem quality to completely opaque. One of the most well known forms from Montana is Moss Agate, and is highly sought after amongst collectors, especially those who focus on gems from the US. High quality Montana Agates can be as impressive in their play of color and beautiful patterns. Agate is suitable for any kind of jewelry, including rings. This cabochon gem is a beautiful example showing good translucency with dark golden-brown coloring set against a very light colored background. Great quality and size, and perfect for any collector.
